How would this work in Dovahzul? For example, in Latin, this and these refer to the subject/object closer to the the speaker and that and those refer to the subject/object farther from the object. This isn't somthing present in english, you just have to guess by context. Is this the case in Dovahzul, or not?

This is the case in Dovahzul as well. Let's use your example with the word daar "this/these/those/that." Daar ah krii kodaav. "This hunter killed the bear." Ah krii daar kodaav. "The hunter killed that bear." Daar paalle nis filok "These foes can't escape." Paalu al daar sahsunne "Our foe destroyed those villages." |
